Forte Digital recognizes employees with Glede

I think other companies will appreciate how user-friendly and time-saving Glede is, as well as being an environmentally friendly way to give.

‍

Forte Digital is a fast-growing consultancy that helps businesses scale and grow using digital technology.

‍

They want to create a dream workplace, with highly motivated employees who feel valued. One of many measures they take is to recognize the good efforts of employees with small tokens of appreciation. Nora Frebergsvik works as HR & Graduate Recruiter at Forte Digital, and explains why this is important.

‍

"Our staff do a great job and deserve to be recognized. It can be effective to recognize them on small and big occasions. Hopefully, it gives a little extra motivation and helps to strengthen the relationship between the employees and the company."

‍

With 180 employees in the Oslo office, making sure everyone gets the recognition they deserve is time-consuming. That's why Nora is committed to good and effective user experiences in the services she uses to give recognition.

‍

"It is important that the process is efficient from start to finish. In the past, we have used services that have delivered in many areas, but lacked important functions. One example is invoice agreement, where we have manually registered the receipt in a separate system, and then recorded expenses on it. At times, this has created a lot of extra work for us."

‍

Nora has also found that home delivery of gifts does not always work well in practice. "When we have delivered flowers and food to employees, it has happened that the recipient is not at home."

‍

It's a shame when attention is left on the doormat unused.

An efficient and environmentally friendly gift service

‍

Forte Digital used Glede for the first time at the beginning of December, and since then they have been giving employees small and large tokens of appreciation weekly through the service. Nora highlights four benefits she gets from using Glede:

‍

• More efficient process: "Glede has a simple user interface and offers automatic invoicing," says Nora. "It allows me to give nice notes in a few minutes."
• Employees choose for themselves: "As an employer, we don't always know what the employee prefers. For example, keeping track of allergies can be a challenge," she says, before continuing: "The fact that employees can choose for themselves increases the likelihood that they get something they actually want."
• Refund of unused gift cards: Nora likes that money is refunded for unused gift cards. "That way we make sure we don't waste the gift budget."
• Overview of usage: Through the order dashboard, Nora can track who is using the gift cards.

‍

"We like new services and concepts that streamline time-consuming processes. This is where Glede has come in handy."

‍

She also highlights the environmental benefits of using Glede. "Glede allows us to give nice gifts to employees with minimal environmental impact."

‍

As it is a fully digital gift card, we avoid the emissions associated with shipping and the risk of the gift ending up in the trash.

‍

Perfect for pleasant remarks

‍

Since then, Nora has received a lot of positive feedback from the recipients. "The employees especially like the fact that they can choose freely what the gift card should be spent on," says Nora. 

‍

She's excited to see the response from employees going forward, and looks forward to using Glede to give gifts for birthdays, competitions and other occasions.

‍

Nora believes many other companies will benefit from using Glede to recognize employees. "I would definitely recommend others to use Glede. It's perfect for giving nice notes from the company." she concludes.
